Linear equation: -1
2
(6x + 10) = 13

Step 1: –3x – 5 = 13

Step 2: –3x = 18

Step 3: x = –6 Which sequence describes the inverse operations used for steps 2 and 3 to solve the linear equation?


Sagot :

The answer of the provided question is  the addition property of equality and then the division property of equality

What is addition property?

Regardless of the sequence in which the numbers are added, the total of any two or more numbers is always the same. This characteristic may be expressed in the formula A + B = B + A. For instance, 2 + 4 Equals 4 + 2 = 6. As a result, both sets add up to 6, therefore 2 + 4 = 4 + 2.

We have multiplied both sides of the equation by 5 to move from Step 1 to Step 2:

[tex]-3x -5 +5 = 13 +5\\ -3x = 18[/tex]

We have divided both sides of the equation by -3 to go from Step 2 to Step 3:

[tex]-3x/-3 = 18/-3\\ x = -6[/tex]

These procedures can be categorized as...

first the equality's addition property, then its division property

However, since multiplication and division are the same thing, but with reciprocal numbers, and since addition and subtraction are the same thing, but with opposite numbers, any of the above answers may theoretically be right.

(adjust 5, divide by -3) = (adjust 5, multiply by -1/3)

(subtract 5 and divide by 3) equals (subtract 5 and multiply by 1/3).
